We got some nice shots of your group - coming up (day 5).
Maybe you can help refresh my memory about names (Wade, and ?? from Mississippi and what does TL stand for?)

Let us know if you do a ride report - we'd like to see what you found in Taylor Park

Thanks Kelly!

Wade lives in Pheonix, AZ, Ben is from Mississippi, but lives in North Carolina now, and I am Brian from North Carolina.

The TLtrials goes back to the late 90s, I was restoring a 1974 Honda TL125 trials bike. So I was setting up a lot of accounts researching and buying parts on the internet and the alias just stuck. It is a cool little bike to tool around on, that I still have.

Don't know if I will get to doing a full on report, we never take enough pictures to make it interesting. I do have a lot of helmet cam footage I am downloading to Vimeo of various parts of the areas we rode, of course under TLtrials

Looking forward to following this RR. Loved your others. Great format!

Thanks, Diggerled!

glad you've enjoyed them! I hope this one will be the best one yet.

Ah ha! Brian.
Oh, tricky - using a bike name.

Thanks for the info - I knew Wade was from AZ, but I missed the details about you and Ben.

OK, well we've got a bunch of pics so if you want to re-live some of your ride it'll be coming up

That's funny, I thought you weren't watching??
I thought you were busy over in G-spot...

Matt and I usually have Interphone f5 headsets, but for this ride we got Senas.
Lica, Radek and Bartek already use Senas and Lica was bringing 2 extras for Ceasar and Scott.
He said that with Senas, we could all link together and talk.
It was a splurge, but Matt and I got smh10s so we wouldn’t be left out

It didn’t always work out, but when it did it was fantastic.
More about that later...

Here Lica is getting Osito hooked up.

OK, Scott - lead the way...

More untested tracks...

There were many lessons learned on day 1...
I don’t think any of us were used to riding in a large group.

Having to space out for the dust and having untested GPS tracks made for some hiccups.
We got separated a few times and we had to work out some ground rules.

At this point, I think it was just us and Lica...

This road was super fun, but it turned out that we were off track.

Eventually, we met back up with Radek...

and Osito.

We figured we’d find the rest in Austin.

and we did.

Gassed up the bikes

And gassed up the riders.

It was after 3pm and I don't know if we were even at the halfway point....

Hello Wans & Company; looks like a great trip. Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

If I hadn't just recently come back from a CO & UT trip myself, I'd be super jealous!

hello everybody Lica is in too....was a bit busy but now with my new 990 Baja toy in the house I can set back and enjoy the ride again. Hope to have some unscratched areas on my bike next time I'll ride with you guys.

Osito Loco is in.
Thanks Matt and Kelly for putting together a great trip. I got to see some amazing places.

Osito!!!

Aw, that's a super cute photo of you!

We're so glad that you were able to ride with us!
I know we pushed you some days, but you are a tough little bear.
thanks for signing in!

Oso!!!
Congratulations!
Let's see a larger version of your new avatar...
Unscratched? Sounds like you and Radek have some work to do...

We had been riding for most of the day, but Nevada is HUGE.
Scott said we had ďthis far.....Ē to go...

and had this much time to get there...

Well, weíd better get on it then!

The bike was making a weird noise on this road so we stopped...

It turns out the chain guard was broken.

Gah!
Matt had just put that on!
Broke another one.

There arenít a lot of landmarks out here...

Nice lawn!

Hey, Lica

Beep beep - the schoolbus is here!

Hola, Bartek!

The dirt continued.
Sometimes the sagebrush was short...

Sometimes the sagebrush was tall...

We stopped to regroup here.
Osito!!

Then, it was back on the road.

Hey, horses! It's always cool to see them out here...

We stopped here because Radekís bike was overheating.
Bad enough for the red light to come on.

Crap. We hadnít done any serious climbing, nor was it super hot today.
Thatís not good.

There wasnít a whole lot that could be done at the time.
After a brief rest, the group continued.

More gates.
Usually, Iím the gate master. My job as pillion.

But, the guys were really sweet about taking turns wrestling with the barbed wire.
Thanks, Bartek!

We had some tighter 2 track with sagebrush here.
As we learned on the TAT, sometimes things get crazy when youíre on an overloaded schoolbus...
This part got kinda rutted, kinda silty...
and the next thing we knew, we were taking out some bushes.

It was our second time in the bushes that day.
Earlier in the ride, Matt took a corner too hot and we almost ate it right in front of Radek.
It had been a close one (Iím just glad he didnít capture it on film).
